... proof of such structures. In 1968 Jacques Cousteau, the French underwater explorer, took his crew and equipment there to explore the lake and search for evidence of underwater construction. Although severely hampered in their activities by the extreme altitude, the divers spent many days searching the lake bottom, in the vicinity of the islands of the Sun and Moon, but found nothing man-made. Cousteau concluded the legends were a myth. Recently in November 1980, however, the well known Bolivian author and scholar of pre-Columbian cultures, Hugo Boero Rojo, announced the finding of archaeological ruins beneath Lake Titicaca about 15 to 20 meters below the surface off the coast of Puerto Acosta, a Bolivian port ...
352. F. X. Kugler -- Almost a Catastrophist [Journals] [SIS Review]
... approach of a comet; along with discussing this (still at the beginning of the paper) he leaves the suspicion that he would explain away the darkness of Exodus by, perhaps, an eclipse, or possible a very dull day: "It is equally easy to understand how a naïve view of nature would interpret an eclipse of the moon or the sun as an action by a power inimical to light, and the yielding of the darkness as a convincing victory by the great divine lights of heaven over the demons. The more seldom, impressive and lasting this phenomenon, the deeper will be the impression on the mind of the observer. For this reason large comets, ...

... only one side, then mirrored. This conforms to Fasold's observations of the shell lines at the bow coming together at a point. ) The curve fitting was to the actual measured dimensions and not to any presupposed original shape. Damage to the port side required the forward measurements be taken only from centerline to starboard, in way of the Moon Pool. The MOON POOL is a rectangular hole, vertically through the vessel, a bit forward of midship. All other dimensions were verified port and starboard.) This paper is concerned with: The raw data of the measured vessel dimensions, Records in ancient literature, and The fact that both the unit of measure and the golden ...

... destroy the pattern. It is suggested that such patterns might be found in space - and one of them is a long, linear chain. Cosmic Carbon New Scientist 26.5 .01, p. 27, The New York Times 13.10.00 Varuna is the largest object beyond Pluto and is nearly as large as Pluto's moon Charon but it is much darker, being covered in a huge amount of carbon-rich dust. Another object rich in carbon is a meteorite which fell over a frozen lake in Canada in January 2000. It was a rare type of carbonaceous chondrite and is thought to be a chunk of an asteroid from the belt between Mars and Jupiter. ...

... . [and] . . . would have extremely profound effects", is false. Such effects would be due to tidal stresses within Earth's surface, and such stresses depend on the difference in attraction between points on the close side of Earth and on the far side of Earth, relative to the gravitating body. This is why the Moon, whose gravitational force on Earth is barely a half of one percent as great as is that of the Sun, has an equal if not greater tidal effect - because it is so much closer that the "near-side"/"far-side" difference is so much greater. The Appendix to this letter demonstrates that the tidal effect of ...
356. The Calendar of Kalasasaya (Built Before the Flood) [Books]
... Enigma of Tiahuanaco The Mightiest Stones in the World The Problems of the Slanting Strandline The Selection of the Site The End of a World The Calendar of Kalasasaya Postscript 10 The Calendar of Kalasasaya The assertion that the slanting strandline upon which the enigmatic ruins of Tiahuanaco are situated was formed in the time before the breakdown of the predecessor of our present Moon sounds so extravagant that the reasoning mind refuses to accept it. For if this assertion is allowed, the Andinian Metropolis must be hundreds of thousands of years old, certainly not less than a quarter of a million! For the archaeologist who avoids exceeding about 5 000 BC in his dating of early human achievements, for the anthropologist who ...
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 17 Myths of the Creation of the Earth Inall deluge myths, whether of the eastern or the western hemispheres, whether told by peoples living near the poles or by tribes settling in the tropics, one fact always stands out: the Great Flood appears as the conclusion of a universal catastrophe, as the finale of a great cosmic drama. But, though it definitely closes a period, it does not cause the final end of things. After the destruction comes a new creation. It is a remarkable fact that the mythologist, though he knows an immense number ...
358. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Ballgame of the Sky Gods in Mesoamerican Mythology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Sky Gods in Mesoamerican Mythology Benny Josef Peiser The ballgame is directly related to the continuous cycle and conflict between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca, [. .. ] and worldly creation and destruction. ' [1 ] The ritual ballgame was itself a reenactment of the celestial ball-game, played at a time of world-destruction, in which the sun and moon defeated the lords of hell. ' [2 ] Introduction Ever since the Berlin School of Anthropology (Konrad Theodor Preuss, Eduard Seler and Walter Krickeberg) tried to decipher the cosmic symbolism of the Mesoamerican ballgame, historians have been aware of the close relationship between heavenly bodies, the ritual function of the ballgame and the personification of heavenly ...

... met. It is not commonly possible to define, for any given case, the exact minimal data which must be available. If certain data are missing or inaccurate, then other data must be more exactly known. In the first place, it must be known whether the eclipse record refers to an eclipse of the sun or of the moon, for an eclipse of the sun would not necessarily be visible at the same place or on the same date as an eclipse of the moon. The practical difficulty here is not so much a matter of knowing whether a given record refers to one or the other as in knowing for sure whether a given record refers to an eclipse ...
